(UNSOLVED YET) Boot up for High Sierra

[tjenkisn948]

Confusing but let me try that. Is there a way I can get in contact with you quicker possible?

• You can install the 2nd graphics after installing with IGFX, as a second stage installation, when everything boots OK without the need for a USB installer disk to boot.
• The System should be stable with its own Clover Bootloader, BEFORE trying to install and configure the PCIE Graphics card.

I have did the steps that was told and I’m getting these errors when booting up

• That is not a problem at all. There is remedy for ignorance as long as there is willingness to cooperate with someone who is willing to provide the necessary knowledge to fix a problem.
• Had I known you had two graphics processors on that system and you are failing to install macOS High Sierra, I would have given you different way to fix your problems long time back.
• I had mentioned the importance of posting all the hardware you knew, and I did not know, you had in your computer case in #2 .Remember?
• Getting no where after many attempts to elicit needed information from you about what was happening with your system, and to figure out a new strategy of reinstalling on that hard drive that was unbootable from a failed prior installation, I asked you to start with the USB installer disk based on the System profile you had under your login name.
• Once again I saw that the system had a Major device (Radeon 7850 Graphics card) coming as a last minute surprise that defeated that strategy also.
• If you want to use this system as a macOS High Sierra Computer with or without Windows , here is what you should do:

1. Reboot with your properly created macOS High Sierra 10.13. X UEFI USB installer Flash disk (8-16GB)
2. Press the appropriate Hotkey like Del/F2 or whatever for your MoBo, to enter BIOS setup.
3. Go to the BIOS Menu that deals with Graphics card
4. Change the Graphics card from PCIE (PEG) to IGFX (IGD) to use your Integrated Intel HD 530.
5. Look for the menu for making the DVMT Pre-Allocated Memory to 128M or a minimum of 64M.
6. Go to Boot Option Priorities and make your UEFI USB Installer as Position 1
7. Whatever other devices you see listed in Boot Options Priorities , select one by one and DiSABLE
8. Keep only UEFI USB Installer in the Boot options
9. Check all other BIOS menu to make sure they all support macOS booting as per a GUIDE like Tonymac
10. Save the edited BIOS and boot
11. When you boot the screen may show "No Display"
12. Shut Down the PC
13. Remove the Power cord from the PSU socket.
14. Press the ON/Off switch a few times to discharge Residual current from the board.
15. Disconnect your Video Cable from the Radeon PCIE Graphics' HDMI and connect to HDMI port of Intel HD 530.
16. Open the case Panel
17. Disconnect the Power to any SATA HDDs other than the one you have for macOS High Sierra
18. Carefully remove any PCIE Power connector from the Radeon Graphics Card
19. Carefully Remove the Radeon PCIE from its slot making sure no nearby devices are out of their connections to the MoBo
20. Reconnect Power
21. Turn Power On and Reboot
22. Go inside BIOS to make sure all your settings are the same as you set them last
23. Boot using your macOS HighSierra 10.13.2 USB Installer Flash disk to Clover Boot Manager (CBM) Screen.
24. At CBM screen, take a Photo to show what icons are currently there to later upload to the Forum
25. Scroll down to Options>Boot args: and take a photo of that screen (to upload later to Forum)
26. At Boot Args:- make sure you have the following flags: -v dart=0 -disablegfxfirmware (otherwise create)
27. Scroll down to GraphicsInjector-> and open that screen and take another photo (to upload later)
28. Make sure you have the following options , otherwise create

• • [√] Inject Intel
  • Fake ID =0x1912808
  • *-platform-id=0x19120000
• Return to CBM screen
• Boot the System hard disk icon
• If the verbose boot fails again take a picture and upload that and other images from a different computer as you are doing now.
• You will reach installation screen
• Reformat the disk using GPT+HFS+J
• Start installing
• You may already know the sequence of reboots. If you want a visual help check for images #222
• Hope this helps.

Edited to include:

Since your USB installer is not created with proper config.plist for Intel HD Graphics, during every reboot to CBM screen during hard disk install, you need to make changes to Boot Args and Graphics Injector menus as listed above. Otherwise boot failure will occur.

I have did the steps that was told and I’m getting these errors when booting up

• Please accept my apology for my error in missing a digit in my typing of FakeID
• Instead of 0x19128086 I missed the last digit and typed only 0x1912808
• This is in CBM> Graphics Injector->

• Please reboot to CBM type that correctly and boot USB again.

Fake IDs and ig-platform-id will usually have 8 alphanumeric characters after 0x .I missed typing and never saw that I missed it when answering in a hurry. NO EXCUSE.

I hope you succeed to install.

• After you succeed to complete the macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 on your designated HDD after reformat from Disk Utility, to install CLOVER , you may use either Multibeast or Clover downloaded from Sourceforge.net
• An easier way to get Clover is to first install Clover Configurator Vibrant DOWNLOAD
• Use from its left Panel "Download/Update" Clover
• You can use CCV to mount EFI of USB installer or System HD and open CLOVER and edit its config.plist with it.
• I have uploaded useful CCV images to use for your Post install CLOVER including kexts for Intel HD530.

I attached my "Magic" boot file below. I've install Mac on many PCs almost without any problems with these file (You can use to replace your USB boot too). Delete your old Clover and unzip, copy my clover folder to you EFI partition on USB or on your computer . After that, boot with -v , -nv_disable, -keepsyms flag and you are good to go . Good luck mate. I am here if you still need help!

I'm not seeing the kexts that you stated on the kexts tab for download maybe some.

I'm not seeing the kexts that you stated on the kexts tab for download maybe some.

• Did you succeed to install macOS High Sierra on the Target HDD?
• Did you install Clover EFI Boot loader on the newly installed Hard disk?
  • Did you use Multibeast or
  • Stand alone Clover?
  • Did you get CCV on your new system?
• Could you install any kexts with Kext Wizard or Kext Utility to /System/Library/Extensions of your new macOS High Sierra 10.13. System drive?
• Which kexts you cannot find in CLOVER/kexts/Other folder that you need help to find?

 

[tjenkisn948]

So I to the installation screen with the changes on the config.plist and now I’m showing the screen when trying to boot up after installing High Sierra on System HD. Haven’t installed the EFI ON THE BOOT LOADER. On the hard drive yet. I’m going to be using multibeast if that’s the best. I’ve posted a picture of the kexts I did download. I rebooted my computer and it went to the start up screen for High Sierra. Setting up computer.
